I have been using gcc-4.3.0 since March 14 and have compiled about 130 spells 
in that time.

qt4 and all the kde4 stuff builds ok, also parts of gnome and gtk+2.

the only problem I am aware of is xine-lib
h264dsp_mmx.c: In function 'h264_h_loop_filter_luma_mmx2':
dsputil_mmx.c:636: error: can't find a register in class 'GENERAL_REGS' while 
reloading 'asm'
dsputil_mmx.c:636: error: 'asm' operand has impossible constraints
